Bombay Play raises $7 million led by Kalaari Capital

Mumbai: Hyper-social gaming platform Bombay Play has raised $7 million, led by Kalaari Capital.

Online gaming platform Winzo also participated in the round along with Lumikai Fund, Leo Capital and PlayCo, AdvantEdge VC, and AMEA Ventures.

The company plans to invest the new funds in scaling its existing ‘hyper-social’ game offerings, supporting upcoming projects and allocating capital toward product development.

Founded in 2018 by Oliver Jones and Abhas Saroha, the Bengaluru-based company employs 50 people. It is planning to double its headcount by the end of 2023.

Bombay Play is a game publisher focused on the hyper-social gaming genre – which allows users to play from a link without having to download the app. It has developed games like dice merge puzzle, card party, and daily word puzzle.

“Our team’s ambition is to disrupt the current casual games market with hyper-social game designs by leveraging our cross-platform distribution channels,” Jones, its chief executive, said.
